:), thge settings rarely change themselves... anyway - if the mail "disappeared, but not bounced", it means that it is either still on your system, or still on the system of the TF system you're routing to.

SMTP -should- be default. That means that mail not handled by some other gateway will be handled by the SMTP gateway, this is what you want.

That would be because it has a "domain" listed that matches up with the messages "to" address.
